The intricately staged shootouts and car chases are gleefully frequent, the dialogue crackling, and the characters, including Dorff's, are surprisingly nuanced.

In between firefights and car crashes, the clichés pile up quicker than dead bodies in this series.

Deputy is a melange of Western and cop show cliches in a novel-enough package, thanks to creators Will Beall, who writes, and David Ayer, who directs the pilot.

Deputy's politics may come from a past decade, but its writing seems to come from another century.

Bill is such a cartoonish tough guy that he's impossible to take seriously, and the show might as well be set in a fantasy world for its simplistic portrayal of law enforcement.

Dorff is at the center keeping it entertaining, and the ridiculousness of some of the plotting to start the series is almost admirable, but this is an inconsistent show in every way.
December 30, 2019
There's nothing in "Deputy" that you haven't seen before, but the show works in that reassuring, cookie-cutter sort of way.
January 02, 2020
The pilot is indeed splashy as pilots tend to be, but the series maintains that level of energetic grit in the subsequent two episodes. For those looking for a reliable and exciting cop drama this year, this one will certainly fit the bill.
January 02, 2020
It's silly, occasionally action-packed, rarely makes any sense at all and it's a little bit less reactionary than I feared. I probably won't watch any more, but then again there are around a dozen Air Bud movies I haven't seen either.

All of this is too ham-handed to merit a seal of approval from yours truly or likely most other TV critics.
